Suze POV --
I got up from where Jesse left me when a sudden gust of wind swept past. I shivered under my thin sweater and started taking the path back up to the festival. When I reached my table I saw Suze standing there trying to hand out a cannoli to a screaming little kid.
I turned around to try to avoid her when I heard her say " Suze, where are you going?!" I swiftly turned back around and looked at my albino crème colored, but very pretty, friend Cee Cee looking at me with her sparkly violet eyes and hands on her hips.
" Oh, me?" I said. Which wasn't the best thing to say to her at that particular moment.
After the festival I had to listen to her long lecture about " responsibility". I told her I was sorry and needed to get on home for dinner. We quickly cleaned up our area, I said bye to Cee and that I would call her later, and caught up with Adam for my ride.
" So did she smash you!?" Adam said sarcastically as we were walking to the parking lot.
" No Adam, she didn't 'smash' me.."
" Oh okay…. Well.. You still want a ride home right? I could…"
Someone tugged at my jacket sleeve.
"Hello there Suze" Said a distinct voice I recognized behind me As.. None other than Paul. I felt the tingles… cold as ice start rising up my back. I didn't want to turn around, but I knew that if I didn't, he would just torture me more. So, sullenly, I turned around and saw him. Standing there. I never wanted to look into his deep blue eyes again. He was donned with his usual, fine fitting blue jeans and a silk T which DEFINETLY showed off his hard abs. SHUT IT SUZE! DON'T THINK LIKE THAT! It was cruel to even look at him anymore. And he clearly knew it, as his.. Ooo.. So well known smile spread across his face. GRrR.. I thought I got rid of him on our last encounter. He always was known for coming back for more, am I right?!
" P-Paul" I said. " Umm I have to go um home now um so um I will talk to you later I guess" OoO I know… please don't ask me why I didn't go off on him right then.. I just… couldn't… a weird feeling… came over me….. I cant explain.
"You don't want me to give you a ride home? I need to talk to you" Paul stated.
" Actually, Adam is going to give me a ride" I shivered again as another breeze swept past. I don't know what Adam was thinking right about then, but I just REALLY wanted to get out of there.
I don't really like being the center of attention believe it or not. Its not like I WANTED to kick that chair out from under Kelly Prescott at the festival! She was pissing me off really BAD! It wAs really funny though! But that's another story.
"Well come on Adam my mom is going to be pissed if I am not home in the next five minutes" I said as I grabbed Adam's arm and strode over to his car.
" Okay then, bye Susannah, Call you later" I heard Paul say under the sudden roar of the car's engine. My mouth must have hung WAY open right about then. I couldn't believe Paul let me leave without a fight. FISHY 0.o
We rode home in silence. I didn't really feel like talking anyways, I had a really weird feeling in my stomach. We pulled up to my house and I got out, almost without saying good bye. HEY I had a lot of things on my mind. For one, I was thinking about me and Jesse. For two, I was thinking up an explanation for how weird Paul was acting. It was really strange for Paul to be acting, Well , NICE.
I walked into the house, really tired, when my mom said " Hey there Suzie honey, why don't you come and have some dinner".
" Naw that's okay Mom I aint really hungry so I am just going to go upstairs and go to sleep" I responded.
" Okay honey, I was just going to ask you how was the festival and.. Some news"
"News?"
" Yes, guess what Andy got!"
"Umm what?"
" Two travel tickets!"
"To where?"
"Maui!, for our anniversary! Isn't he thoughtful Suze?!"
"Wow mom, that's great, Can I talk to you tomorrow about it? I don't feel so hot."
"Okay honey, Good night."
" Night"
I strode up to my bed room and slowly opened the door. It opened with a creak and I shuddered. I stuck my head in and Jesse, to my surprise, wasn't sitting on the window sill. "Phew" I whispered to myself.
But then I wondered if he was already getting ready to move to the rectory. Or, did he already leave? No.. he wouldn't do that to me.. He would be back soon… I hoped… I had just.. Talked to him… plus he already knew I was depressed about the whole 'him moving' idea. It wouldn't be right…
So that's when I slumped onto my comfy bed and drifted into a rather.. Restless sleep.
Droning footsteps. Darkness. Misty fog. Stars sparkling faintly overhead.
I surely must have know where I was then. Shadowland of course, but not exactly the happiest dreamland if I must say so myself.
I was walking down the hallway looking strait ahead, strangely not looking down or to the side, just strait forward. It seemed like I had been walking for hours, until I finally hit a dead end.
A DEAD END?!? I thought Shadowland NEVER ended…… 0.o
It was like shadowland just, stopped. It was no more hallway. I was just looking out into, what it seemed like space. Maybe more like a clear wall. But strangely, there was a colorful crystal, about the size of my head, swirling in mid air. Maybe that was the light at the end of the hall that I had always dreamt about.
(a/n: SINGS - There's a light at the end of the tunnel, ya! :P)
All I knew was I was looking into it when someone walked up behind me.
"It isn't just a crystal, no one really knows what it is" The voice said. I couldn't quite figure out who it was talking. It was a strange voice, sort of familiar.
"I know what the secret is, look into it, fix your mind onto it" He said again.
I looked at the, space and crystal, when it began to spin faster. Around and around it turned until it hurt my eyes to look at it's reflecting light. I somehow turned my head a bit to see the face of the person who had been talking to me, but no one was there. I shivered. I faced the crystal once again and instead saw a picture of Paul.
He was sitting on the beach, looking innocent enough, staring out into the rolling waves. He had a look on his face, He looked like he was thinking about something, like something was deeply on his mind.
Then the image changed. I saw Jesse. He looked really terrible… like really depressed, almost like he was about to cry. He was slumped in a chair, I couldn't tell where he was, but It hurt me so bad to look at him like this. I felt like I had just gotten stabbed in the heart. I didn't know why he was so sad. A tear gently rolled down my cheek. I needed to be with him…to help him out… I didn't even know why he was so sad, but STILL made me HURT! That's how MUCH I love this guy!
I didn't have a chance to find out why exactly why he was acting like that….. Because as I was staring, I felt a strong, firm hand, push me strait into the darkness.
………….Good has lost its heart………..
